Busy, busy, busy! I know many of you are hustling and bustling about the kitchen prepping for family gatherings or for just a quiet holiday meal at home, but I did want to pop in to wish you a lovely day.If you can spare a minute, I would love to show you my latest cross stitch finish which is simply called
Merry Christmas.
Let's get out of that hot kitchen and take a gander shall we.
I made it into a long skinny pin pillow . I bordered the stitch with a small scrap of homespun fabric which I left unfinished on one end so you could see the frayed edges.

I think I am happy with it. 🤗

Oooh I have potatoes boiling so I better get back to the kitchen and I know you have much to do as well. Hey, if you are in the neighborhood, drop in , grab an apron and spoon! We can tackle this Thanksgiving meal together and better yet, you can be the taste tester! Hee! Hee!
OK Back to the Kitchen, I go!
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting,
y'all

Good afternoon, sweet Debra. It has been a busy busy day in the kitchen but all has gone well. Oh I would love for you to come over . We would have a feast and then would sit back and chat the evening away while stitching away. Wouldn't that be delightful? I hope you have had a fabulous day as well. How is your dear hubby? I hope the weather has not been to trying on both of you. I do wish you the most delightful and Happy Thanksgiving with your family. Sending you big Bear hugs and lots of love.
DeleteI hope your cooking continues to go well. Goodness, it takes a lot to make a feast! Our kitchens are getting a huge workout! May your stitches land exactly where you intended. Happy Thanksgiving--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
